Since the Big Bubble popped in 1929, life in the United States
hasn't been the same. Hotshot wizards will tell you nothing's
really changed, but then again, hotshot wizards aren't looking for
honest work in Enid, Oklahoma. No paying jobs at the mill, because
zombies will work for nothing. The diner on Main Street is seeing
hard times as well, because a lot fewer folks can afford to fly
carpets in from miles away. Jack Spivey's just another down-and-out
trying to stay alive, doing a little of this and a little of that.
Sometimes that means making a few bucks playing ball with the Enid
Eagles, against teams from as many as two counties away. And
sometimes it means roughing up rival thugs for Big Stu, the guy who
calls the shots in Enid. But one day Jack knocks on the door of the
person he's supposed to 'deal with' - and realises that he's not
going to do any such thing to the young lady who answers. This
means he needs to get out of the reach of Big Stu, who didn't get
to where he is by letting defiance go unpunished. Then the House of
Daniel comes to town - a brash band of barnstormers who'll take on
any team, and whose antics never fail to entertain. Against the
odds Jack secures a berth with them. Now they're off to tour an
America that's as shot through with magic as it is dead broke. Jack
will never be the same - nor will baseball.
